  • Okay, well, I’m not going to argue with you. Point is, you should believe whatever’s most comforting for you to believe, especially in accordance with your statement that no outcome is more or less likely. Since all outcomes are equally likely, there’s no use in worrying about it at all. Whatever happens, happens, and all worrying about it now does is make the time before you die less enjoyable.


  • Nobody knows for sure. However, what we do know for sure is that we’re all going to die some day, and scientific analysis lends more credence to nothing than eternal terror. So why would you worry about it? Assume the more likely, and more desirable outcome, rather than spending your days fearing a remote possibility.



  • I assume you know this and are referencing it sarcastically, but just in case you don’t: That was not the original text in the anti-piracy PSA; it was a third party edit making fun of the original PSA that is now widely mistaken as being the original text. The original text was “You wouldn’t steal a car”, not “You wouldn’t download a car”.



  • If you don’t own one, buy the console. The PC path isn’t cheaper once you count the memory market, the unknown requirements and the possibility of a slipped date. A decision built on three unknowns isn’t a plan.

    I really hate this take. If you’re looking at playing this game and only this game in a complete vacuum, the console is cheaper [if you don’t already own a PC], but suggesting that buying a PS5 is a better general purchase than a mid-tier gaming capable PC if cost effectiveness is a concern is just wild. I guess if you’re someone who buys games on day 1 all the time and only plays AAA titles, it doesn’t matter much, but if that’s you, why are you reading this article? You clearly have plenty of disposable income. For someone on the fence about this, the PC almost definitely makes more sense overall unless you specifically want to play PS exclusives and don’t care about any games that aren’t coming to PS. The up-front cost is higher, but you make up for it many times over in what you save on games in the long run, assuming you’re thrifty with your game purchases. This isn’t even mentioning peripherals, or the cost of Playstation Plus or any other similar costs.










  • Hot take: I’d much rather have Dwight as a friend than Jim. He’s eccentric and he’s the butt of the jokes, but he’s shown to be an incredibly reliable friend. He’s always there to help any time someone asks, he’s knowledgeable about a lot of practical matters and is happy to share that knowledge, he’s enthusiastic about his interests, and he’s loyal to his friends. Jim might have some of those traits, too, but we don’t really see it - his primary personality trait is just being a charismatic jokester.
